Because this is real.
we share a real social context
this is an authentic environment for you to develop your skills
Are you aware that you will really get into trouble when you use copyrighted material? Do you know how to find copyright-free material? If not, it's high time for you to find out how and share your knowledge with others: to write an article about it, click on 'new page' in the top left corner
Because this will last.
It looks like this wiki will stay online for ever!
Because you will remember.
